The two important fea- tures in next Monday's battle of ballots in this town will be the contests for places on the board of selectmen and for tax collector. As only thres selectmen can be elected, fome one of the four candidates must go ! fown {o defeat. John A.

Illustrative of this was the very large attendance at the opening @ance at the state armory. Upwards of 400 persons were dancing at times to the music of the Central American Ma- pimba band, a decided novelty in this ity. The success of the dance and the band has resulted <in the announce- ment of arrangements for another dance Kith the same music.

Tt present plans prbduce results that are hoped for, this year's observance of Armistice day in Danfelson will surpass any like observance of the anniversary since the memorable November 11, 1918, when Danielson surged through a diy that was a delirlum of joy, glorying in the fact that the World war was at'an end. ' The first Armistice day. forecasted the end of fighting and the h« g of hundreds of Killingly men who were overseas. Eventually they came through Armistice day has been observed _here. But in truth it must be said that the-ar- dor of the public seems to have cooled somewhat in the past two_years. Thi¥ year it is hoped that a moré spontaneous response will be made to the call to ob- serve the day. Few would have the World war veterans believe that. their wonderwul service has so soon last inter- est for their fellow countrymen. Yet there will be no alternative for the veterans if the invitations that will go out are not responded to favorably by the orgsnisas tion receiving them as well as by the public At larze. An active committee is in charge of the arrangement plans and if the public does its part Armistice day will be a big day here this year. The local fire department and fire de- partments of nearby communiies will be invited to take part in the big parade of members of the Amerlcan legion, Vet- erans of Foreign Wars and fraternal and eclvic organlzations.

Putnam got its share of the day to day. Dealers have orders in and these will be filled by the operators ‘as rapldly as may be possible. Putnam’s public schools are as et without a coal supply, but thers is no inclination in ofticial quarters to belleve that the work of the schools will be 4n- terrupted on account of fusl shortage. Wood can be used in the heaters dur- ing the early fall. The schools will be on the prior preference list and will get fuel to meet immediate needs 2s soon as coal begins to come through in quan- tity lots.
